Meet "Bronco Charlie" - The Youngest Pony Express rider was "Bronco Charlie." He was only 11 years old when he rode for the Pony Express. He replaced a rider who had been attacked by Native Americans. Before the stationkeepers could stop him, Charlie was on his horse and riding off with the mail. He rode for the Pony Express for five months until it closed. Seventy years later, in 1931, Charlie rode his horse cross-country. He delivered mail from the mayor of New York City to the mayor of San Francisco. It took him seven months! He was 81 years old when he did it. He made the trip in honor of the 70th anniversary of the Pony Express. He is the only man ever to have ridden his horse cross-country alone to deliver the mail.

Bronco Charlie longs for a life of adventure. By the time he turned eleven, he'd been a sailor, a cowboy, and could tame wild bucking broncos. But Charlie was always itching for new challenges, and when a Pony Express horse shows up riderless, Charlie gets his big chance. The next station is fifty miles away, and Charlie will have to ride through rocky mountains in the blinding rain to safely deliver the mail.
